Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Wheels

RWM Caster’s heavy-duty cast iron wheels are made of much stronger material than inexpensive semi-steel wheels offered by many other industrial wheel manufacturers. These high-quality, heavy-duty cast iron wheels are durable, versatile, and heat-resistant.

Benefits of Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Wheels

All caster wheel materials offer application-specific benefits. Here’s what our heavy-duty cast iron has to offer:

• Extreme weight-bearing capacities: Normal wheels can’t handle the weight that iron wheels can bear – especially heavy-duty cast iron. They offer one of the highest ratings of any wheel, capable of bearing up to 10,000 lbs. So, when capacity is the name of the game, opt for heavy-duty cast iron.
• Easy rolling capabilities: Thanks to their smooth surface, metal wheels roll easily on all surfaces, minimizing the human effort or mechanized energy required to transport heavy loads.
• Appropriate for high-temperature applications: If you’re working in and around high temperatures, you need caster wheels that won’t melt or otherwise degrade in the heat. Heavy-duty cast iron wheels are rated for use in temperatures up to 800° F.
• Resistant to water and the environment: It’s appropriate to use heavy-duty cast iron wheels in outdoor settings, thanks to their ability to cope with wet, harsh environmental conditions. Just be aware that cast iron rusts over time.
• Capable of withstanding exposure to chemicals, grease, and oil: Spills in manufacturing plants and warehouses often result in caustic residue accumulating on the floor. Heavy-duty cast iron wheels are unaffected by spilled chemicals, grease, and oil, allowing you to carry on as usual.
• More economical than forged steel: When high capacity, rather than impact strength, is your priority, heavy-duty cast iron is the more affordable material.
